I have not had a fever for more than 15 years. Should I get tested?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have not had a fever for many years (around 15 years or more if I remember correctly). I read somewhere that I should get immunoglobulin checked because I have not got a fever for years. Will it be useful to do this test? If yes, then which ones should I get done as there are multiple tests for immunoglobulin-like G, M, and A? Please advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I really do not understand who has given you this information. If you did not get a fever since the last 15 years, is it not a good thing? Fever is a body's defense mechanism when you acquire any infection. Not getting fever means you have been taking good care of yourself and you are healthy. I do not think that you need to get any tests done. Please meet a local doctor or your family doctor and discuss your concerns with them personally. If you want to get some tests done, you can do a general full body health check. It will definitely tell you a lot about how you are doing health wise. Much more recommended considering the current stress at workplaces and personal lifestyle. Feel free to get back to me in case you have any other queries. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
